Ducks' Ryan Garbutt: Scores first goal of 2016-17
Ryan Garbutt scored his first goal of the season on his only shot on net during Thursday's game against Philadelphia.Garbutt has averaged just 9:16 of ice time through the first five games of the season, which significantly limits his fantasy upside. And after posting a respectable campaign during the 2013-14 season (17 goals and 32 points with a plus-10 rating, 106 penalty minutes, 165 shots and 141 hits), the 31-year-old winger declined all the way down to seven goals and seven assists last year. He still owns value in leagues that include real-time statistics, but he's unlikely help enough offensively to be anything more than a low-end fantasy option.

Ducks' Ryan Garbutt: To see an increase in ice time
Ryan Garbutt should be seeing an increase in ice time, reports the Orange County Register.Coach Bruce Boudreau was quoted after Friday's game saying that he "was trying to figure out how [to] get [Garbutt] more ice time [since] he's playing really good." While he's currently averaging 10:20 of ice time this season, he's seen an average of 11:23 in his last six games. The increase in playing time should only serve to further boost what has been a nice fresh start for the 30-year-old. He's tallied four points in 15 games with the Anaheim Ducks after tallying just six points in 43 games with the Blackhawks earlier this season.

Blackhawks' Ryan Garbutt: Rare goal holds up as game-winner
Ryan Garbutt scored just his second goal of the year Thursday, and it held up as the game-winner against the Canadiens.Garbutt was a useful fantasy asset in PIM formats two years ago with Dallas, when he notched 17 goals, 15 assists, 106 PIM and a plus-10 rating, but he hasn't come close to that level of production since. This rare tally doesn't seem likely to change things for him, but hey, at least he got to play double-digit minutes for the first time in 10 games.
